Metaphor and Iconicity makes an attempt to elucidate the interaction of metaphor and iconicity within the construction and interpretation of spoken and written texts from a cognitive viewpoint. there are many levels within which metaphor and iconicity show up themselves, starting from sound symbolism and parallelism in poetic discourse to note order, inflectional kinds, and different grammatical buildings in usual discourse.

(Lee 1975: 14) This argument is central to Bruce Lee’s own sustained critique of institutionalisation. 3 However, the exemplary and representative problem with Bruce Lee’s pragmatic, ostensibly anti-theoretical, anti-institutional stance here is precisely that: it is a stance; necessarily both an interpretation and a pose; both an ‘honest’ interpretation and an affectation.

Or – more precisely – the martial principles evinced by deconstruction are available to any martial art at any time (just as ‘deconstruction’ per se can be said to happen in (m)any contexts outside of the writings of Derrida).
